Brangorre is in Origin.
Brangorre is a rare medieval-literary given name linked to the Arthurian tradition, where variable spellings are common across Old French and Middle English manuscripts. It is best treated as a Franco‑Celtic formation: the first element likely reflects Celtic bran “raven,” while the second may echo Brythonic gor/goreu “great, excellent” or gwr “man,” yielding senses such as “great raven” or “raven‑man.” The raven in Celtic symbolism connotes insight, battle-luck, and prophecy, aligning the name with chivalric overtones.
Documented usage is largely confined to romance literature; it does not appear as a stable personal name in medieval parish records and remains extremely uncommon today, with occasional revival by Arthuriana enthusiasts. Variants and orthographic neighbors include Brangor, Brangore, and Brangorres; it is sometimes confused with the distinct Arthurian name Brandegoris/Brandegore. Related choices: Bran, Brennor, and the Welsh-influenced Goronwy. Meaning summary: “great raven” or “raven‑man.”
Brangorre does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
